"Arizona Reaffirmations"
In Chapter 7 cases, Arizona bankruptcy courts allow debtors to retain collateral used as security for
dischargeable debts. Past due amounts must be brought current. Debtors must agree in writing to continue payments. Court approval is required yet
seldom denied. In effect, a reaffirmation agreement excludes a specific secured debt from discharge.
| Rule 4008 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure provides "Discharge and
Reaffirmation Hearing. Not more than 30 days following the entry of an order granting or denying a
discharge, or confirming a plan in a chapter 11 reorganization case concerning an individual debtor and on
not less than 10 days notice to the debtor and the trustee, the court may hold a hearing as provided in Sec.
524(d) of the Code. A motion by the debtor for approval of a reaffirmation agreement shall be filed before
or at the hearing." |
